Finding Peak with Ryan Hanley · Your Portfolio Is a Fingerprint of Your Personality | Jim Lebenthal · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

You only get those returns by being willing to accept that volatility.

I very strongly applaud you for closing your eyes.

You're a young man and you're just buying more shares as you go along.

But for people who can't close their eyes, who look at it every day and they're like, oh my God, I can't believe what's happening to the stock.

Just put a little stabilizer in your portfolio.

It could be a consumer goods stock, like I said, Procter & Gamble.

It could be a utility stock.

But just have something in the equity portfolio that's zigging when Tesla is zagging.

And there's just no question that if you want the returns that a Tesla has given you, you've got to accept that volatility.

Yes, you are.

So we're going to start by going back to your Tesla position because you used a key term.

You said, I have an investment thesis in Tesla.

And because of that, I don't worry when the stock goes down.

I just buy more.

Okay.

That's the critical starting point if you're going to invest in an individual stock is you have to have a well-thought-out investment thesis.

And you really need to do your research, not just listen to what a guy like me says about a stock on CNBC, but really read the financial statements.

Think about who the customers are and then go analyze those customers to see if they're healthy, if they're getting benefits in their business from using the products of the company that you're thinking about investing in.

Now, I could go on and on about that, but the key point is you have to have an investment thesis.

Let's say that you get to a point where you're in a sector or you're interested in a sector that's somewhat esoteric, like you just pointed out about quantum computing.
